Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Thomas Amory was born about 1691, his father being the secretary for the forfeited estates in Ireland.
In 1755 Thomas Amory published Memoirs containing the lives of several ladies of Great Britain, a History of Antiquities and Observations on the Christian Religion, which was followed by the Life of John Buncle, Esq. (Volume(s) I, 1756, and Volume(s) II, 1766), practically a continuation. The contents of these works are miscellaneous, philology, natural science, theology, and much besides, treated without any system, but with occasional originality and felicity of diction.
The author, who was a renowned eccentric, had a peculiar aspect, with the manner of a gentleman, and scarcely ever stirred abroad except at dusk.
He reached the age of 97.

Thomas Amory was an eccentric character and seems to have lived a very secluded life.
